I don't often talk politics, especially when it comes to my photography; but I want to dedicate this photo to all of my friends and colleagues living in England and in various parts of the EU, in the wake of #Brexit and the EU referendum.
I'm not going to pretend that I know all about the issue, or know what is best for your country. But I do know that you woke up this morning in a nation with an uncertain and potentially frightening future. I may be thousands of miles and an entire continent away, but I do want you to know that I love you all, and wish you the best in this tumultuous time.
Before I go to bed, tonight...just tonight I shall raise my face to the heavens (that's a picture of our bedroom ceiling) and say a short prayer.
Oh Lord!
Please forgive me for my sins for I have been baaad.
But just because I voted for Brexit I hope you realise I did it for good reasons.
I promise I believe in good Christian principles, and whilst I may have wavered, I still know right from wrong...or at least I think I still do: even though they that do not believe in God keep moving the goalposts
But, please oh Lord, I pray, .....I beg you, please do not let me wake in the morning to the madness and hell of a Corbyn government. I.....the good people of this country do not deserve that.
If it happens, please let Boris lead us to Dover, and arrange for the waters of the English Channel to roll back so that we can walk to safety before the Marxist madness bears down and enslaves us forever more.

You can tell those people aren't British: they haven't lined up in the orderly queue on the other side of the bus stop...

On Saturday March 25, 2017, I joined tens of thousands of supporters of the UK remaining in the EU in Parliament Square, at the rally at the end of the Unite for Europe march that began at Park Lane. The march had been called to mark the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, signed in 1957 by the six founder member states of what became the EU, but it took on an added poignancy because, this Wednesday, Theresa May will trigger Article 50 of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty, officially beginning the two-year process of the UK leaving the EU. This was one of the best placards I saw on the day.
As I have thought ever since the Leave camp secured a small majority in last June’s referendum, the 16.1m of us who voted to stay in the EU need to work relentlessly over the next two years to try and make sure that, if we do leave the EU, we do so in a way that isn’t as economically suicidal as the “hard Brexit” favoured by Theresa May and her chief advisers — David Davis, Boris Johnson and Liam Fox — although my favoured end result, and one I will not waver from seeking relentlessly, is for the Brexit process to be halted when it becomes clear that there is no way for it to take place without destroying our economy.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LATE JO COX MP AND HER HUSBAND, BRENDAN
Today, with her body barely cold, her husband Brendan Cox is tweeting out a Go Fund Me link to his wife’s ‘favourite causes’ and one of those is the White Helmets.
The White Helmets is not a charity, and neither are they ‘the good guys’ despite their white helmets. The White Helmets is the military propaganda arm of the Allies attempt at regime change by destabilising Syria – and this is exactly what is causing the refugee component of Europe’s migrant crisis in the first place.

A pre-Brexit series I shot and forgot. I found it again while slowly starting to process and scan old rolls—film that spent years tucked away in a shoebox, in a dark, forgotten corner of my house.
There’s a quiet, painful irony in these few frames. I’ve always been fascinated by the way we live so closely together, yet often exist in entirely different realities.
We share one world, and yet experience another, alone.
The human condition, maybe.
A contradiction we carry every day.
A living oxymoron.

Never mind, Boris Johnson will be in charge soon. It will all be OK then......No chance of Jeremy Corbyn taking over. He's too busy sulking because he can no longer take Britain into the Warsaw Pact. I'd leave the country, only I can't do so now because we won't be in the EU.
Actually I think this picture featured on the front cover of 'Private Eye' a while back. Caption as follows:
Queen: - "How low can you go"?
PM: - "I've made Boris Johnson Foreign Secretary".
Public apology. By posting the picture above I may have implied that Mrs May wasn't up to the job. I wish to withdraw that opinion. She was a stateswoman of the highest order in comparison to the lying, sleazy, useless buffoon that is Boris Johnson. A Tory Grandee described Johnson at the time of his appointment as Party Leader as a "preening popinjay". Couldn't have put it better myself.
